Many parents ask `How can I help my child at home?’ In addition to our online resources, we host workshops to empower you with the knowledge and skills to support your child’s reading and spelling development at home.
We will shed light on ‘what not to do’ and common practices that have a negative and detrimental impact on reading and spelling development in children. Our 2 hour hands-on workshops will show you how to correctly address error corrections and provide practical tips and tools based on best teaching practices so you can leave feeling confident to successfully navigate your child’s journey of learning to read, spell and write.
Who are the workshops for?
- Parents / guardians wanting to effectively help their child learn to read, spell and write
- Parents / guardians with a child who has just started school
- Parents / guardians concerned about their child’s lack of progress
- Parents / guardians who have child with dyslexia
- Parents / guardians who have child with dysgraphia
- Parents / guardians who homeschool
Based on the science of reading, the workshops are specifically designed for parents who are unsure of how they should be helping their child at home.
In fact, we recommend all the parents of our students attend these workshops so they can use the same methods at home that we use in our tutoring sessions.
